00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,560
Welcome back to the Millennial 
Mustard Seed podcast. 

2
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,880
I'm going to do things a little 
bit different for this mini 

3
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,920
episode. 
I've been doing some reflection,

4
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,640
some deep reflection lately and 
just thinking about the times 

5
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,600
that we're living in and God 
just stirring and moving me to 

6
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,520
just go back to one of the poems
I wrote called His Way. 

7
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:49,600
I've never read this one on air 
before, but really what's 

8
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:54,400
bringing me to do this is just 
realizing the significance of 

9
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,680
our generation and being born 
for such a time as this. 

10
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,400
I've spent a good amount of time
covering things like exposing 

11
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,840
the darkness, the enemy's 
tactics, what he's been up to 

12
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,360
for quite a long time. 
And there's nothing wrong with 

13
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,360
that. 
But the shift that is here in my

14
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,640
life is really just realizing 
the importance of our voice and 

15
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,880
the time that we've been given, 
redeeming the time that was 

16
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,160
lost. 
So I'm going to read the poem 

17
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,920
his way and possibly one other 
short poem at the end. 

18
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,440
But this is the poem that kicked
everything off a few years back.

19
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,080
I want to say like 21, possibly 
22 early. 

20
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,760
I read this to Doctor Laura 
Sanger after an interview and 

21
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,560
she prophesied over his way and 
said it was going to go out to 

22
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,360
all four corners of the country 
and then eventually sweep out 

23
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,000
across the globe. 
She said it was going to call 

24
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,000
the faithful higher and the 
wayward home. 

25
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,000
And I'm just going to say it's 
in the book. 

26
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,160
We've sold the book on a couple 
continents. 

27
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,160
I've given away more copies than
I've sold, which is it was never

28
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:05,600
about making money with this 
book. 

29
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,720
It was just following what God 
was showing me, being humble and

30
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:14,000
just being obedient. 
So if this poem moves you, send 

31
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,080
me an e-mail let me know. 
It certainly has moved me and 

32
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,480
many others who have heard it 
this far. 

33
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,400
I'm going to start to read now. 
His skin he skinned to cover 

34
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,240
washing one another. 
Wounded before winding times 

35
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,440
clock. 
His love would last, yet blood 

36
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,760
would drop. 
Born to us, meek, most consider 

37
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,000
this weak. 
He roamed away from his throne, 

38
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,840
entering a world that was his 
own, yet not known. 

39
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,680
The majesty made flesh here to 
taste of death. 

40
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,840
A son of man, the mission, his 
own. 

41
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,400
A kinsman, Redeemer without a 
home. 

42
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,840
A wandering worker, calloused 
hands, a growing spark. 

43
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,680
Mercy in his stature, 
forgiveness in his heart the way

44
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,920
he is. 
The lion's pride. 

45
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,280
Behold the Lamb of God to die. 
Structures shook the earth with 

46
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,320
quake. 
The veil was torn. 

47
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,200
He took our place. 
Mighty horns blown, a piercing 

48
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,480
sound, Echoes of Victory's 
notes. 

49
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,800
Renowned, astonished, surprised,
gaping gawk. 

50
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,040
The first of the risen through 
walls. 

51
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,800
He did walk. 
We marvel at the way the Maker 

52
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,760
paints a perfect picture. 
Flawless grace, a race to run 

53
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,520
for eternity's space. 
How high, how low, the 

54
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,600
omnipotence knows as the space 
within the spaces grow. 

55
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,800
He's risen to the highest height
Our God alone could conquer 

56
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,520
Night. 
The morning comes, so wake and 

57
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,000
rise. 
Release the fear and wipe the 

58
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,120
tears from your eyes. 
Darkness has no power. 

59
00:03:53,120 --> 00:04:00,240
Now He is risen and hope is 
found, and that is the 

60
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,720
completion of his way. 
And just as a little bonus, I'm 

61
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,520
going to read another poem out 
of the book. 

62
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,520
Page 27 It's called accidentally
on purpose. 

63
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,320
Every moment of my existence is 
shadowed and graceful. 

64
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,120
Purpose, the pre written plan of
God always floats to the 

65
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,600
surface. 
Every instance of blind effort 

66
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:28,040
made with hopeful jubilation 
contains all the divine elements

67
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:32,600
of a wonderful collaboration. 
Acceptance and indifference play

68
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,320
the opposite roles to keep each 
other in balance so to attain 

69
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,880
the actual goals. 
Reverence and meaningful 

70
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,920
relations blanket the entire 
decree, a melting pot of 

71
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,400
influence that simmers in 
reverie. 

72
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,160
Every situation I've encountered
has taken me by optimal 

73
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,640
surprise. 
Although I have seen it coming 

74
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,520
accidentally, I'm sure it was 
devised. 

75
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:04,600
So that is this short episode. 
Just reading two of my poems out

76
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,240
of my book. 
The words are salt. 

77
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,520
If these simple and humble poems
moved you and touched you in any

78
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,200
way, reach out to me. 
Send me an e-mail or comment on 

79
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,040
this episode if you're listening
on Spotify, or go purchase a 

80
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:24,640
copy of the book and keep it on 
your night stand. 

81
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,840
Read through it. 
Many nights God woke me up at 23

82
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:33,120
AM to write down a majority of 
these poems just when I was 

83
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,960
weeping and just crying out to 
Him. 

84
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,320
And really, that season never 
ends if you have, if you have 

85
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,760
humility. 
But this was a heavy season for 

86
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:49,600
me. 2020 through about 2022 was 
most of the developments of 

87
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,320
these poems that are in the 
book. 

88
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,800
It's about 87 pages long in 
total, but this was my way of 

89
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,960
just responding to some 
reflections about what Doctor 

90
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,000
Laura Sanger prophesied over his
way. 

91
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,440
And really just thinking, you 
know what? 

92
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:11,200
I have the platform. 
God gave me this ability to be 

93
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,760
able to podcast. 
Why not start reading some of 

94
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,480
these poems intermittently as 
time goes on and see if it's 

95
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,920
helping any of you out there? 
Lord knows it's helped me. 

96
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,160
And that's it for this mini 
episode here on the Millennial 

97
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,160
Mustard Seed podcast. 
I'm going to ask that you guys 

98
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,600
would share this far and wide. 
Thank you for praying for me, 

99
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,160
for encouraging, for all the 
emails, and I just really am 

100
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,200
humbled and thankful for God to 
be using a broken and contrite 

101
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:48,720
vessel as as I am. 
I'm nobody special but He who 

102
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:53,800
lives and works in and through 
me, Well, special is an 

103
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,640
understatement when it comes to 
Him. 

104
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:55,840
God bless and goodbye. 
Music. 

105
00:08:27,880 --> 00:09:14,520
I. 
Yeah.
